As a purser for B.A.on 737's at LGW it comes down to me sometimes who gets "china or plastic". Now I'm sure every airline you looks after their "own" first so I would look down the list and look for "B.A. Staff" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> and give them the good news first - after that other staff would be brought up to the dizzy heights of club. I'm also sure that dispatchers look at it the same way too. If that captain said that to me no my flight I'd remind him that staff travel on any airline is A PERK - NOT A RIGHT and that he's lucky to have the seats he's been given. Also worth remembering everyone that upgrades can also happen "after takeoff" as your in charge crew member may have been too busy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> dealing with other matters to decide who "gets upgraded". What I can tell you is that "I'm the king of the world" attitude on my flight would ensure you'd be sitting in the rear of the aircraft for the whole way <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> . . .. .Hope that answers your questions and gives everyone something to think about.. .. .Incidently I also like to upgrade our Executive club card holders as well if possible not just staff as they are the ones paying "propper money" on a regular basis, and I for one want them coming back more often.
